Justin really wanted to use his original block and crank though... but that came with the sacrifice of not having his Z for the entire year when he could have been driving it.
Anyways, definitely dont let it stress you out! Think of it of as a season or two less wear and tear on the rest of the car.

I was lucky enough to have Daelen lead the way. I bought a junkyard long block and that is what they are building. I am still driving my car thank goodness. I will build my existing motor a year or two after this one. I want to see if we have some more data on how to deal with the open deck block since more folks are looking into this issue now.
